Thanks Terry! I had a great day. My son flew in for my birthday & we spent the afternoon visiting. My daughter had a birthday dinner for the immediate family, which was very nice. My 3 1/2 yr. old granddaughter was so excited! It was. Lovely evening. This morning, I realized that I am improving! My grief is lessening. It is not so oppressive, which is encouraging! Recently I had the opportunity to view pictures of Robert during his last few months. Now I can see how tired & worn out he was. I think coming to terms with that, has helped me deal better with his passing. This morning I am missing him a lot but it is a loneliness for him but not the deep pain. Yes, there is a light at the end of the tunnel! We can improve, but it is a very slow process.
